What is Eco Starwall Building System?
- Eco Starwall Building System is a unique fibrocement lost in place or permanent concrete formwork building system
- It replaces costly steel, aluminum and plywood formworks
- It produces a complete Load Bearing wall with a complete rendered finish
- Increases site production by as much as 300%
- Requires significantly lower skilled labor to build high quality concrete homes and buildings
What Eco Starwall is Not
- Is not a precast system
- Is not different engineering wise to regular RC walls and structures and meets both Malaysian and British building codes
- Is Not a “cut and paste” hybrid type system but a building technique for RC construction (one of the most common types of construction in the world today)
- Is not limiting in anyway architecturally
- Is not a higher cost that conventional systems and can be cheaper than even the lowest cost alternatives in most cases and locations when mass produced
- Is not expensive to setup assembly facility at project locations
- It is no difficult for regular builders to adopt and be trained in its use.
Plywood formworks are expensive, time consuming requiring highly skilled carpenters and large amounts of materials to produce structure, even after removal of forms there is full repair and rendering works to do, many of materials not re-usable. Steel formworks are very large capital outlay, heavy to install, requires cranes, large amounts of scaffold and manpower to install, difficult to install rebars, even when removed (by crane) still rendering and finishing of concrete remains, limiting in architectural design flexibility.
Eco Starwall prefabricated fibrocement formwork, light simple and easy to install (manually) wall braces only needed for support for concreting, after concreting walls ready to accept jointing and final paint , spacers hold rebars in correct position requiring no rebar tie wires , electrical and plumbing completed prior to pouring concrete. Eco Starwall prefabricated fibrocement formwork, suitable for all types of construction from small socialized housing to commercial structures, probably the fastest cleanest concrete walling system on the market, ideal for hot climates due to zero rendering needed.
